N2  - "Buckminster Fuller's 1929-46 Dymaxion House initiated a series of dwelling prototypes that radically challenged housing norms, plunging the very nature of domestic space into crisis. Through a series of interwoven vignettes, Federico Neder unveils the conflicted spatiality of Fuller's houses. Neder tracks the transforming Dymaxion House as it moves through a universe where its materials and forms commingle with those of vehicles, clothing, and furniture. The journey invokes other landmark twentieth-century dwellings, tracing the ongoing influence of the Dymaxion prototypes. In the process, we discover how Fuller's visions of the dwelling environment transcend the boundaries of his house's gleaming shell, foreshadowing radical technological, social, and cultural changes in the art of living."--BOOK JACKET
